About the Product
The compact form of the Synthe Mips slips through the air with ease across multiple yaw and head angles, and offers impressive cooling power. Key features include the Roc Loc Air fit system with 2-way fit tuning and Aero Mesh Panels with a dedicated port for securely docking sunglasses as you ride.
Our first Air Attack™ was a revelation in styling and performance for all types of riding—from track to triathlon, road and mountain biking to cyclocross. Inspired by the original, the new generation Air Attack™ fine-tunes the design for a lightweight, compact and extremely efficient aerodynamic shape that slices through air.

What customers say about "Features"
Giro Synthe Bike Helmet
  • Look pretty good. Latest safety system.
  • Well made. Very good ventilation for hard riding.
  • Good price for the features and general quality.
  • Very light, easy to adjust, fits well.
  • Very comfortable helmet. The fit is easily adjusted, even to my fairly large head.
Giro Air Attack Helmet
  • Its comfortable and gets plenty of airflow even on hot summer days.
  • I have a small head. So I looked up the measurements and was on the very top end of the measurements for the small size. I ordered it and it fit just fine.
  • I ride in AZ in 85+ degree weather regularly, and have no issues with the venting.
  • Comfortable fit, good range of adjustment for cold weather hat, long hair, short hair, etc.
  • I think the main concern of the helmet is ventilation and there's enough even on very hot days.
